I'm not sure I understand the question. Exactly what are you trying to
do?

Between processes, you send messages (rpc). Within a process, you'll
either use threads, and condition variables and the like for
signaling, or a select loop, in which case plain variables (no
volatile stuff needed) can be used for signaling.
